Instead of releasing a successor that feels like a generational leap or a pivot in a new direction, it&rsquo;s following up the hugely successful original with the Switch 2 &#8211; a welcome upgrade that largely sticks to the formula. It looks about the same, works about the same, and plays most of the same games. It&rsquo;s the Switch, just better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Nintendo&rsquo;s bet is that it doesn&rsquo;t have to wow people all over again, and so it made a sequel that&rsquo;s only as good as it needs to be. After spending a week with the new console, I&rsquo;ve realized that good enough is exactly what the Switch needed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A refined (and bigger) Nintendo Switch<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Fundamentally, the concept of the Switch hasn&rsquo;t changed. It&rsquo;s still a tablet with a split controller stuck on either side, with a dock that connects to your television. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But the idea has been refined. The Switch 2 is much bigger, for one thing. It now has a 7.9-inch LCD panel, up from the original&rsquo;s 6.2 inches, making it great for playing text-heavy games. It also means the entire device has become larger as a result, now weighing in at a comparatively hefty 1.18 pounds with the controllers \u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/nintendo\/686603\/nintendo-switch-2-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the full story at The Verge.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Switch was such a hit that Nintendo decided not to mess with a good thing.
